I am trying to figure out how much bandwidth a 1megabit connection will give me a month. But I am told this is wrong.

1 megabit/second = 60 megabits/minute
60 megabits/minute = 360 megabits/hour
360 megabits/hour = 8640 megabits/day
8640 megabits/day = 259200 megabits/month

259200 megabits/month = 32400 megabytes/month
32400 megabytes/month = 32.4 gigabytes/month

Whats wrong with this?

60 megabits/minute = 360 megabits/hour

60 min in an hour

Yeah, I find it odd that I can do fine as an engineering major, but chop off a zero somehow when multiplying 60*60.

*shoots self*
